What are the most unique business ideas you've seen that make really good money?

I've posted a lot lately so I'll be quiet for a while after this, but... I do in-home tech support for seniors. Nobody out there is doing it (well).

我最近发了很多帖子，所以在这之后我会安静一段时间，但是。..我为老年人提供家庭技术支持。外面没有人做得（好）。

Instead of adding to the grease fire of cleaner/scanner software, I rip out almost everything so it's nice and lean. I remove Norton/McAfee/Webroot/etc. (they slow down a PC by 90% and can't find any threats made after 2013) I remove Fake Rental WiFi Routers and replace them with real ones, eliminating all the buffering and headaches.

我没有添加到清洁剂/扫描仪软件的油脂火中，而是几乎把所有东西都撕了出来，所以它很漂亮，很瘦。我删除了诺顿/迈克菲/Webroot等。（它们将PC的速度降低了90%，并且找不到2013年之后的任何威胁）我删除了假冒的租赁WiFi路由器，并用真实的路由器替换它们，消除了所有的缓冲和麻烦。

99% of people have no idea what ANY of their passwords are. I help people do password resets and make them write them down so they have control over their digital lives.

99%的人不知道他们的密码是什么。我帮助人们重置密码，并让他们写下来，这样他们就可以控制自己的数字生活。

And a whole bunch of other things! The demand is nearly infinite.

还有一大堆其他的东西！需求几乎是无限的。

Nah I'm assuming word of mouth is quite big for this niche?

不，我假设这个利基市场的口碑相当大？

I tried advertising but it got me nothing but tire-kickers.

我试着做广告，但它只让我疲惫不堪。

You're right that it's all word of mouth. Almost everyone on Earth has been screwed or abandoned by their last computer guy, so they start out quite skeptical. Knowing that their loved one trusts me and that I'm not going to vanish is a huge thing. It's more personal than a doctor-patient relationship!

你说得对，这都是口口相传。地球上几乎每个人都被他们最后一个电脑人搞砸或抛弃了，所以他们一开始都很怀疑。知道他们的亲人信任我，知道我不会消失，这是一件大事。这比医患关系更私人！

Definitely not advertising. Having your name and number on a banner ad or billboard is a great way to look like the rest of the pack.

绝对不是广告。在横幅广告或广告牌上写上你的名字和号码是让你看起来像其他人的好方法。

Do a few free cleanups for people you know. If you're the only one removing the Norton infections and fake rental wifi, they'll see you're actually in it to help them rather than ruin their stuff and milk them for money. Hand them Real Paper Business Cards and they'll tell all their friends. It's all about the real personal relationship here in the personalized service world.

为你认识的人做一些免费清洁。如果你是唯一一个消除诺顿感染和假冒租赁wifi的人，他们会看到你实际上是在帮助他们，而不是为了钱而破坏他们的东西。递给他们真正的纸质名片，他们会告诉所有的朋友。这一切都是关于个性化服务世界中真正的个人关系。

Not surprised. I work with old people and I always wondered how those without young family members keep online. Well the answer is, they don't. Or they buy a new device until it gets bricked for whatever reason. Giving technical support, especially in person seems quite lucrative Exactly! They end up buying a new HP every year, because that's what the big box guy pushed onto them desperately. The machine becomes too slow after a few months, then they put it in the garbage and start all over again.

一点也不奇怪。我和老年人一起工作，我一直想知道那些没有年轻家庭成员的人是如何上网的。好吧，答案是，他们不会。或者他们会买一台新设备，直到它因为任何原因被封起来。提供技术支持，尤其是亲自提供，似乎相当有利可图。没错！他们最终每年都会购买一台新的惠普，因为这是大盒子的家伙拼命向他们推销的东西。几个月后，机器变得太慢了，然后他们把它扔进垃圾桶，重新启动。

99% of all landfills consist of 1 year old HP computers in this state, and also 1 month old HP inkjets with clogged print heads.

在该州，99%的垃圾填埋场由1年前的惠普电脑和1个月前的打印头堵塞的惠普喷墨机组成。

You said it - "especially in person". I knew a guy whose 95 year old parents got on the nursing home bus once a month just to lug their 40 lb computer to a dude so he could do a 1991-style virus scan on it. People are willing to pay anything to have someone show up and stabilize things.

你说过——“尤其是当面”。我认识一个人，他95岁的父母每月上一次疗养院巴士，只是为了把他们40磅重的电脑带给一个家伙，这样他就可以在上面做1991年式的病毒扫描。人们愿意付出任何代价让有人出现并稳定局面。

Another massive global demand right now is installing a Real Freakin USB cord so people can actually print. Most Big Box Store jokers set up a printer wirelessly, even if it's right next to the computer. It stops working after a day, and people are just left helpless.

现在另一个巨大的全球需求是安装一根真正的Freakin USB线，这样人们就可以实际打印了。大多数Big Box Store的小丑都会无线设置打印机，即使它就在电脑旁边。一天后，它就停止了工作，人们只能无助地离开。
